In the past 9 months, we have had a lovely time holidaying in Malaysia (Penang & Borneo), Dubai and Jordan at Christmas and most recently, Africa. But now I really feel like I’m in a period of consolidation and here’s the tragic list of things that require my attention:
· My weight. I’ve been off dairy for a week and desperately missing my two lattes a day but a friend reckons 3 weeks of that and I should lose 4 kilos. It's gone well beyond extremely high shoes. I’ve always got a ‘good’ 5 that needs to go, so stay tuned.
· My finances. Man, I need to save some money! We’re planning on doing the American Road Trip (A.R.T.) next September and I’d also like to get on with some renovation at home. But between school fees, holidays, braces, lovely dinners out at fine restaurants, the hired help – it’s not easy. But it does remind me why I work.
· My house. Or should I say clutter? It’s driving me crazy! And further to the above point, if I use the stuff in the pantry, the laundry, the bathroom and stop buying stuff, it could be a win-win.
· My email. I have more than 2,640 emails in my inbox and a mere 2,100 in sent mail (I did have a crack at that one recently). No wonder my computer’s having a break down.
· My baby. She’s been at school a term and her reading is well – frankly – crap! I really need to work on that. Nor can she ride a bike for that matter. She’s getting better but just need some focus!
Do you have periods when you feel the need to get your life in order? Feel free to comment and not make me feel like a freak!
